Abstract
Intolerance to lactose and cow''s milk protein was prospectively evaluated in 56 infants with apparent colic. A complete blood cell count, sedimentation rate, test for quantitative IgE level, radioallergosorbent test (performed in 15 patients) and at least 3 stool examinations for pH, presence of reducing substances and occult blood were performed in 56 infants (46, appropriate size for gestational age; 10, small for gestational age) and results were within normal limits for age. Tolerance to lactose and cow''s milk protein apparently does not have a significant role in infantile colic.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
